Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Returns in emerging market wireless telecoms have bottomed as the sector takes a capex holiday after the 4G roll-out. We continue to like low-return markets where we look for returns to rise (e.g. India, Indonesia, China are prime examples). We have also become more bullish where returns are high and stable (e.g. Hong Kong). A number of markets continue to face tough conditions typically due to rising spectrum payments (e.g. Malaysia and Thailand).Higher returns imply higher cash flows and that is good news for both debt reduction and rising dividends. it also may encourage more M&amp;A, an area we think makes sense for in market consolidation and fixed/wireless convergence.In terms of stocks, we favor names such as <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/953" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:953:1">Bharti Airtel (BHARTI IN)</a> , <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/1016" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1016:1">China Unicom (762 HK)</a>, Telefonica Brasil, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/15028" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15028:1">XL Axiata (EXCL IJ)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/873" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:873:1">PCCW (8 HK)</a>. Top shorts include <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/946" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:946:1">Maxis (MAXIS MK)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/947" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:947:1">AIS (ADVANC TB)</a> .

Emerging Market Telecoms: Returns Have Bottomed. Outlook Improves.

The rise of data usage in Emerging Markets delivers increased benefits of scale to operators. Capex and spectrum holdings become key weapons to gain market share. This tends to play well for large incumbents; large dominant telcos are increasing their dominance. With increased share of profits flowing to a dominant player, returns for the smaller players can fall to unsustainable levels. &nbsp;A number of outcomes are possible.<ol><li>If the government does not own a large stake in the dominant player then asymmetric regulation is likely to benefit the smaller players.&nbsp;</li><li>Where the government owns a stake in the dominant player, asymmetric regulation is less likely and instead a deeper consolidation of smaller players may be allowed.&nbsp;</li><li>In markets where existing players generate high returns we see a risk of new entry to erode returns. Small cell challengers are likely to be part of this picture.&nbsp;</li></ol>&nbsp;
